A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with clear, triangular terminals on forms like A and W, while rounds (O, C, G) feel open and evenly tensioned. Lowercase shows a conventional text rhythm with a compact, readable build, two-storey a, and a slender, rightward ear on g; joins and curves are clean and controlled. Numerals align with the same contrasty, engraved-like logic, with narrow interior counters and confident vertical stress.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a refined, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying tradition, authority, and a composed, bookish seriousness. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a slightly ceremonial feel that reads as refined rather than decorative.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous text, combining familiar proportions with a sharper, higher-contrast finish to add elegance and emphasis in both body copy and display settings.
The design maintains a consistent vertical stress and a steady baseline, with punctuation and diagonals that stay crisp at display sizes. The spacing in the sample text suggests a balanced, text-oriented color that remains clear even in longer lines.
